Ireland

Irish genealogy is notoriously challenging due to the catastrophic record losses in the 1922 Four Courts fire and the destruction wrought by famine and emigration — but it is far from impossible. Heritage Books carries titles addressing Irish research strategies, surviving record sources, county histories, and compiled genealogies for both Catholic and Protestant Irish families. The collection includes works on Irish landed families, Griffith's Valuation research strategies, and records of Irish emigrants to America.
